英语简短小故事81WhytheSkyIsBrown
小男孩与爸爸交谈英语作文
Once upon a time in a cozy little house,there lived a curious little boy named Timmy.Timmy had a habit of asking questions about everything he encountered in his daily life.His father,Mr.Brown,was always ready to engage in these conversations, nurturing Timmys inquisitive nature.One sunny afternoon,Timmy and his father sat down in the garden,surrounded by the vibrant colors of blooming flowers and the gentle hum of bees.Timmy looked up at his father with wide,eager eyes and asked,Dad,why is the sky blue?Mr.Brown smiled and began to explain,Well,Timmy,the sky appears blue because of the way Earths atmosphere scatters sunlight.The molecules in the air scatter the sunlight in all directions and blue light is scattered more because it travels in smaller,shorter waves.Timmy listened intently,his eyes sparkling with curiosity.He then pointed at a bird flying overhead and asked,Dad,how do birds fly?Mr.Brown took a moment to gather his thoughts before responding,Birds are able to fly because they have wings that are specially adapted for flight.Their wings have a curved shape which creates lift as air flows over them.Additionally,birds have strong muscles that power their wings,allowing them to flap and stay in the air.As the conversation continued,Timmy noticed a small ant crawling on the ground.He picked it up gently and asked,Dad,why do ants work so hard?Mr.Brown thought for a moment and then said,Ants are social insects,Timmy.They live in colonies and work together to find food,build their nests,and take care of their young.Each ant has a specific job,and by working together,they can accomplish much more than they could alone.As the sun began to set,casting a warm glow over the garden,Timmy looked at his father and asked,Dad,why do we have to sleep at night?Mr.Brown replied,Sleep is important for our bodies to rest and recover,Timmy.While we sleep,our bodies grow and repair themselves.Its also when our brain organizes the things weve learned during the day.These conversations between Timmy and his father not only strengthened their bond but also sparked a lifelong love for learning in young Timmy.The world was full of wonders, and with his fathers guidance,Timmy was eager to explore and understand them all.。

why the sea is salt英语童话故事
why the sea is salt英语童话故事Once upon a time, there was a king who wanted to knowwhy the sea is salt. He asked all of his wise men, but none of them could give him a satisfactory answer. Finally, he called upon a poor fisherman who lived by the sea.The fisherman told the king a story. He said that long ago, there was a great salt mine in a faraway land. One day, the king of that land ordered his soldiers to take all ofthe salt and load it onto a ship. But the ship was toosmall to hold all of the salt, so some of it spilled into the sea. The fisherman said that ever since that day, the sea has been salty.The king was pleased with the fisherman's answer and rewarded him with a bag of gold. But some of the other wise men were not convinced. They said that the fisherman'sstory was just a myth and that there must be a scientific explanation for why the sea is salt.So the king ordered his scientists to investigate. They discovered that rivers and streams carry minerals and saltfrom the land into the sea. Over time, the salt in the sea became more concentrated, making the sea salty.The king was satisfied with this explanation and ordered that the fisherman be rewarded once again for his wisdom. And so, the fisherman lived happily ever after.中文翻译：从前，有一个国王想知道为什么海水是咸的。
英语小故事 Why the sky is so high 天为什么这么高(精美彩色插图)
A folktale from Bengal, retold by Rohini ChowdhuryLong ago, the Sky was quite low. If you stood on a stool and stretched your hands up as high as they would go, you could touch the Sky.At that time, far on the Horizon, where the Sky was always especially low, there was a village. In that village, in a little mud hut thatched with straw, there lived a bent Old Woman.This bent Old Woman was the oldest woman in that village, possibly the oldest woman in the world. She was so old she no longer remembered any other way of being. She lived all alone in her little mud hut, for she had neither friend nor family left in this world. She had nowhere to go and no one to talk to. So all day long, she would potter round her hut, first cleaning this corner, now dusting that, now scrubbing this bit of floor, now sweeping that. The bent Old Woman thought of nothing else any more, except more and more ways of sweepingand scrubbing her littlemud hut.One hot summer, the landwas dry with thirst. Therewas dust everywhere - onthe trees, on the roofs ofhuts and houses, inpeople's throats and eyes,even in the air. All overthe village people werecoughing and sneezingand choking with the dust.Even the poor old Sky was not spared - it was so close to the ground that the slightest bit of wind would set it coughing with the dust that rose from the parched land.The bent Old Woman's hut too was covered with dust. The old woman swept and swept and swept the little hut with her broom. She swept the inside of herhut, she swept the outside of her hut, she swept the front step and she swept the front yard. But the dust rose all around her in great brown clouds - the more she swept and plied her broom, the more the dust that rose from the earth. The poor Sky began to choke with all the dust that the bent Old Woman was raising with her broom. The dust got into its throat and tickled its nose and made it sneeze - a great big sneeze that shook the world with its thunder. People covered their heads and ran indoors in fright. But the bent Old Womanbarely noticed - she kepton sweeping with herbroom.The Sky sneezed again -the dust was becomingunbearable. It got into itseyes and made themwater - so that greatheavy drops of rain beganfalling into the dry dustbelow. The bent OldWoman barely noticed -till finally a big splodgy raindrop fell right on to the patch she had just swept. The bent Old Woman glared at the Sky and scrubbed the splodgy raindrop away. But then another raindrop fell, and another, till her swept and scrubbedfront step was blotchywith raindrops.This was more than thebent Old Woman couldbear. She stood up asstraight as she could withher bent old back andshook her fist at the Skyyelling at it to stop rainingon her nice clean frontstep. She cursed the Skyand threatened it, but thepoor old Sky couldn't stopraining - its eyes were stillso full of dust with all her sweeping.At last, the bent Old Woman was so angry, that she picked up her broom, and thwacked the Sky with it.The Sky gave another great sneeze and jumped out of her way. But the bent Old Woman kept thwacking it with her broom, again and again and again.Finally the Sky could take it no more - the dust, the Old Woman's cursing, and especially her broom, thwacking it again and again and again. Sneezing and coughing, thundering and raining, the Sky flew up, up and away - out of reach of the Old Woman's broom and swore never to come down again.So that is why the Sky is so high. Even on the Horizon, where it seems to be touching the earth, it really isn't any more.。
搜索天空为什么是蓝的英语作文
搜索天空为什么是蓝的英语作文Hey呀! Have you ever wondered why the sky is blue? Well, let me tell you what I think about it!When I look up at the sky on a sunny day, I always see that beautiful blue color. I think it's so cool! Haha.You know, there's this thing called sunlight. And the sunlight is made up of all kinds of colors, like red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. But our eyes can't see them all at once.When the sunlight comes into the Earth's atmosphere, the air molecules kind of scatter the blue light more than the other colors. So, there's more blue light bouncing around in the sky. And that's why the sky looks blue! Isn't that amazing? Hehe.I just love looking up at the blue sky and thinking about how it works. It makes me feel like there are so many mysteries in the world waiting for me to discover.So, next time you look at the sky and see that beautiful blue color, remember how it got there. And maybe you'll think about it like I do.哎呀, it's really interesting!。

Why the sky is blue (sometimes)
IT IS currently summer in the northern hemisphere, which may mean cloudless azure skies, some of the time at least. What makes the sky this colour?For scientists, the answer is relatively straightforward: Rayleigh scattering. When white light from the sun reaches the earth it hits the gas molecules that make up the atmosphere. These molecules—mainly nitrogen and oxygen—are smaller than the wavelengths of light in the visible spectrum and so scatter the light. White light is made up of different wavelengths, which, since Isaac Newton’s experiments with prisms in the 17th century, we think of as a spectrum of seven different colours: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Light at the violet end of the spectrum travels in shorter, tighter waves, which are affected more by the molecules in the atmosphere than the longer, lower-frequency waves at the red end. This phenomenon is named after Lord Rayleigh, the British physicist who discovered it in the 19th century. The sky appears blue because shorter wavelengths are scattered more by the atmosphere than longer wavelengths; so the scattered sunlight that reaches our eyes when looking at the sky (rather than at the sun itself) is predominantly blue.Once you have got your head around that, it might seem that the answer to the initial question—“Why is the sky blue?”—is rather simple. But there is a catch: not everyone would agree that the sky is blue. In 1858 William Gladstone, better known for being the Prime Minister of Britain four times during the 19th century, published a treatise on Homer. He noted, with astonishment, that the Greek poet did not once use the word blue. He used colour words rather oddly—he described the sea as “wine-dark”, iron as violet and honey as green. Further research showed that the Koran, the original Hebrew Bible, the Icelandic sagas and the Vedic hymns, written in India between 1500 BC and 1000 BC, also lack references to this hue, even when talking about the heavens. There are still many languages today that do not have a word that precisely correlates to the English word for the slice of the spectrum between green and purple. Russians might call the sky either goluboe (light blue) or sinee (darker blue); in Japan 青 (ao) encompasses the colour of the sky but also apples and grass; the Namibian Himba tribe would describe the sky as zoozou, which roughly translates as “dark” and includes shades of red, green and purple as well as blue.This is more than a pedantic issue of translation: evidence suggests that language has a huge impact on how people interpret the world. Incredible as it may seem, having a distinct word for a colour reinforces and amplifies the perception of it as distinct from other shades. Without the word you don’t perceive it as readily. To prove this scientists showed groups of coloured tiles to the Himba, who found it difficult to pick out one blue tile from a group of 11 green ones (although they found it far easier than English-speakers to spot one yellow-green tile hiding amongst some more pine-hued ones). So although it is true that to English-speakers the sky is blue, it is arguably only blue because they say it is.更多英语学习方法：企业英语培训/。

It has been almost over forty years since man's first landing on the moon. Now, some people believe that space exploration is a sheer waste of time and money. They point out the fact that it cost billions of dollars to carry on the space research, but a little information was brought back.However, every coin has o sides.There are still a majority of other people who believe that space exploration has more advantages.

英语简短小故事-81.Why the Sky Is Brown
Every two years, DMV sent Cory a notice to get a pollution check to make sure his Cadillac wasn't fouling the California sky. Cory thought that DMV was fighting a losing battle, considering that there were 30 million cars and 10 million cows in California, not to mention the air pollution drifting into California from across the Pacific.
After driving on the 210 freeway for 20 minutes to warm the engine up, Cory drove to the test-only center on Colorado Blvd. Sam, the owner, offered Cory a bottle of purified water. Sam pulled the car up to the test machine and stuck the machine's sensor up the car's tail pipe. This isn't good, Cory thought. Sam showed Cory the printout: “Your vehicle is a gross polluter!”
"What does that mean?" Cory asked. It meant that Cory had to take his car to a mechanic to find out why the car was running so rich. It was using gasoline inefficiently. Maybe that's why I'm getting only 8 miles per gallon, Cory thought. Sam said that once the problem was fixed, bring the car back for a second test, which would be free.
Cory took his car to Moe, his regular mechanic. Moe said he couldn't help Cory, but his friend Ramsey specialized in emission problems. He gave Cory Ramsey’s business card. “Tell him that I recommended you,” Moe said.
Ramsey said to bring the car by 8:00 a.m. Monday through Friday--"first come, first served." Cory got there at 7:40 a.m. Monday. There were three cars already parked there, but Cory was relieved to discover that they were the mechan ics’ cars. He was the first customer. Ramsey introduced himself, saying, "Coffee will be ready in a few minutes. I'll show you the waiting room." He was a friendly, courteous man. Cory felt comfortable. Moe had sent him to a good place.。
